expensive

i couldn't even sleep until seven today. gareth came to bed about an hour ago and that got colby whining at the door. i got about nine hours of sleep so i can't really complain. i'm just looking forward to the day we both have normal jobs with normal hours. we found out gareth's store is going to close in april. it's pretty convenient since he was planning on quitting around then anyways. and now he gets severance. i finally got everything for my school application. just putting the finishing touches on my essay and i'll take it to the post office in the next day or so. we've had a glimpse of the coming spring this week. i spent one of the warm (but windy) days cleaning out my car. it had passed inspection but some small things ended up costing almost four hundred dollars. colby's vet visit was almost three hundred. there goes my tax return. gareth took me out to dinner for valentine's day sunday night at olive garden. my favorite. and i got some more chocolates from him on monday. i'd just opened the ones i got for christmas. good thing i like chocolate. not a lot else going on here. yesterday and today are my days "off" volunteering. maybe i'll bathe colby before the day is through. that's about it since gareth will be sleeping until he goes to work tonight...
